his predecessors. No pope in any age ever over
rode the great body of local opinion with more
decision than the Pope did in supporting Prince
Bismarcks military bill. He openly compelled
great party. organized to defend Cath

mands. and dealt with the Emperor above
their heads. He had previously done the same
thing in France and SPAIN where he commanded
the clergy TO cease from opposing the govern

TO accept any administration, If only i5 would be
IMPARTIAL toward the church. His great contest
in India with the Portuguese Patriarch is in

No Split in the Grand Army.

~.
Washington Special.
The administration people are suffering an
other disappointment. The movement to break
up the Grand Army was to have materialized
this week, but 1T hasn't. Following tho Presi-
dents ST. Louis letter it was hoped that some
leading Democrats who members of that or
ganizaton would publicly withdraw. and thus
give the nucleus for Democratic society whose
m emhers would be ready to indorse everything
Mr.. Cleveland does. But the leading Democrats
have been shy about doing this. They under
stand the situation better than the Presidents
mugwump advisers, who have been vehemently
calling on the Grand Army to apologize else
get ready for the vengeance of the second term
boomers. Their attention first brought to
it after the battle-fag blunder. when some of the
officeholders hero up demand that
all Democrats in the organization with
draw from it. This fell flat that some
prise shown last week when the
Presidents partisans again set up the same cry.
1t was thought that the split would begin in the
East, but it didn't. It happens that some OF the
leading local Grand Army men are Democrats,
and these have been in frame OF mind over
the outlook, but none of them have come for
ward to say they would withdraw and try to
start new society of veterans The word re-
ceived ere has been that the St Louis encamp-
ment would be made the greatest success of
years and that the next year would show n
growth in membership. This has not been COM
forting TO the men who thought they could put
in a wedge which would split the organization.
The Grand Army men say that there Is doubt
that ambitious politicians have tried to use the
society In the past for personal ends and the
same attempts will be made in the future. But
they have always sat down heavily such men
and have no doubt that they will be able to
keep on doing so. The politician who just now
